thanks

the reason I havent reported a "bug" is because Im still not sure who is
at fault - I have had a small look at both codes and nothing seems to jump out
but it is not simple code to figure out - it may just be the setup Im using
and then there is the whole libav/ffmpeg issue - being on Ubuntu Im not using
ffmpeg but libav for external transcoding - only just beginning to understand
the difference between the mpeg format and the dvd format in ffmpeg as well
